Putting yourself into the position of trying to solve a practical problem is the best way to learn.

If you fail completely, you can always restore your system and try again (you have a backup, right?)

I have both specifically for this reason.

Plex is for my family who only need to know ‘login to your Plex account’, but I personally use Jellyfin because I’m on my VPN. I got the lifetime pass for under $100 ($80?) and it has saved me a lot of time by preventing technical issues that would need my personal attention.

I also find it the height of irony that we are all told by dbzer0 admins that we should strive hard to understand, since those mods must surely have their reasons for doing what they did

That would be a fair argument except for the fact that the ‘communities’ that they ‘moderate’ have zero actual activity. Some have posts by draconic, some have exactly zero posts (and the community is locked). They’re just squatting communities with popular Reddit counterparts.

Though do facts matter anymore - i.e. have these two mods been kicked off of dbzer0 for their false accusations, sent preemptively out to half the Threadiverse?

Their dbzer0 account is still active, with comments 3 days ago.

Like what was the point?

They were bumping the bans to the top of your mod history so their nonsense is the first thing anyone reads.

I will say, I’ve argued with db0 a few times and they’ve kept it professional.

We may disagree on things, but you’re not even close to being on the level of the petty people with the zero-activity communities which only exist for spamming mod logs.

They are using your instance to host these fake communities though.

You were targeted by draconic_neo and mystic mushroom.

They have created a bunch of different communities across the fediverse so they can spam people’s modlogs with bullshit harassment.

See my mod history, it’s exactly the same pattern.

A huge amount of bans all within a few seconds of each other, all from communities modded by draconic_neo or mystic mushroom, if you examine the individual communities you find that they have no activity.

They only exist to spam people’s mod log with nonsense because they can’t press the downvote button hard enough.

Many admins/mod use alts to actually participate in the community because people get weird about a M or A next to your username.

draconic_neo’s thing is to moderate like a huge amount different communities, all of which have zero activity, so they can spam people’s admin log with libelous ban reasons. The amount of work they put into being petty is pretty astonishing.

See my comment mod history. In under a minute, I received approximately 40 bans from a bunch of communities for ‘transphobia’. I don’t make transphobic comments (feel free to search my comment history) and I’ve never posted in any of these communities.

If you take the time and look into the communities. You’ll find that every single community is moderated by draconic_neo and has zero activity actual user activity. The communities only exist to spam people’s mod log with bans/squat popular topic names.

e: Another user in this very thread with the exact same ban spam behavior: https://lemmy.world/post/46317965/23518971

That is a surprising fact! Thanks :)

I love that Claude.md file, fucking awesome.

TLDs are getting out of control, it didn’t even occur to me that the link was anything but a link to the github repo.

It’s a good thing that it appears to be squatted by Anthropic and it redirects to their documentation instead of a shotgun blast of assorted browser exploits.

third party/OIDC.

Ah, that makes sense

I haven’t looked into it yet, I’m in the same position of using Google to login.

I just noticed that the login page changed.

the only problem is needing a google acc for login

You can use e-mail now.

You can use the zfs send command to copy snapshots from one dataset to another.

Your backup could be a ZFS dataset stored on an external drive(s) which would contain the snapshots of your online dataset. You could then encrypt and compress (by setting the appropriate ZFS dataset properties) the backup dataset for size efficiency, and security.

To restore the backup you would use zfs send to move your backedup snapshots into a new dataset on your new un-disastered hardware.

Since this is all done via CLI, you could write a bash script to create periodic snapshots, one to backup snapshots to the external dataset and another to delete old snapshots in your dataset. Toss 'em in your cron service of choice (or use systemd timers) and you’ve got a whole ZFS native backup system.

There may be backup software that’ll do this for you. I’ve seen that Timeshift supports snapshot-based backups for btrfs so you can probably find a GUI app to handle the automation.

If you wanted to get really in the weeds of ZFS, you can use ZFS send to send copies of your snapshots into a dataset that you store on your external.

You can enable encryption and compression on the external dataset as well.

This would use snapshots, give you the ability to make block-level incremental backups and allow encryption and compression using only ZFS tooling.

You’d have to script it though (it’s possible someone has already done this in some other backup application).

For backups, use 3-2-1. 3 different copies on two different kinds of media, 1 of which is off-site (in a safety deposit box, for example)

Also, since you’re using ZFS I’d also add a rotation of snapshots. They don’t use much space and it’s a lot less work to recover recently deleted files from a snapshot than going through the trouble of getting to you backups.

From the terminal, run:

tailscale up --force-reauth

It’ll give you a link to click, login and the terminal should update when it gets the new token. You will see your machine as online in tailscale status

Yup.
